IIRC in addition to right back, Calde has played centre back, left back and right midfield. So definitely a utility player.
I think Bruno will be the second choice fullback and possibly play in midfield for a few games as well.
I think it's because the "experts" think that unless a defender is scything someone in two they're lightweight or a liability.
His reading of the game and positional sense are exceptional. Plus his flairniac skills. He's definitely on the demise but certainly good enough for a championship side.
